James Leitch Elementary School

My student has this school from kinder till 6th grade. Such a positive school with great experienced teachers. The school has lots of clubs and other activities that involve and motivate students interest. I will highly recommend this school.

The school is trying their best to engage families in the best possible way - new principal is kind, easy to talk to, friendly with kids and encourages to be active, plays sports with kids. School encourages kids in all round developments - garden club, mathematics club, steam club run by the teachers. Amazing makerspace for kids to explore robotics and sort. Hope they incorporate music band, mathematics olympaid in the future.

My experience at Mission San Jose Elementary (MSJE) was amazing! I had a great overall learning experience and ultimately, had a really fun time there. Most of the teachers are really nice and kind, and they help you whenever you need it. The school counselor also hosts regular activities where students can meet each other and participate in fun and engaging events. In the five years that i've been a student here, I've never had a problem with any person /teacher and everything here is so nice. There are also lots of school activities, such as a Halloween Parade, Science Camp, going to Ohlone College to see a play, and Movie Nights. The field trips are also really fun and exciting, and we always learn a lot from these experiences.

Education at the school is purely theoretical; there are no practical lessons. There are no applications or laboratories for Music and Science classes. Children learn science simply by listening and reading from books.The issue of safety is quite problematic. Despite our child being repeatedly harassed by the same student over a long period, the school administration showed no effective response. It could be your child who is subjected to harassment for a long time, and nothing is done about it other than giving warnings. Even though there are sanctions available, they are not implemented. Emboldened by this, the harasser and other students can continue to disturb one another for a long time. Security is extremely weak.
